Today’s question is: What is your favourite winter illumination in Japan?
It’s late November, so it’s time for switching on winter illuminations and light ups across Japan.
Do you favour traditional western-style illuminations on Nakadori near Tokyo Station? Do you go for LED-extravaganza of Carietta Shiodome? Are you awaiting Otaru Snow Light Path Festival?
Tell us… What is your favourite winter illumination site in Japan?

ASHIKAGA FLOWER PARK. It’s kind of a pain to get to. I did it on the way back to Tokyo from Nikko and it was BEAUTIFUL. Highly, highly recommend.
Otaru Snow Light Path
Mainly because I love Otaru and we have a great picture of my partner and I there
I love Osaka’s Illuminage. Great way to visit after dusk in Osaka Castle when the crowds get significantly thinner.
That at Oi Racecourse is wonderful, although you have to pay an admission fee.
Kobe’s is kind of spectacular
